For a richer flavor, try using brown rice instead of white rice.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your personal preference. Start with less and add more until you reach your desired sweetness.
A pinch of nutmeg can also add a warm, complementary flavor.
If you don't have time to soak the rice overnight, you can use hot water to speed up the process. However, the flavor will be more subtle.
For a vegan horchata, use almond milk or any other plant-based milk alternative.
